/5 Look at Vance, or Yarvin, or Miller, or any of these true believers and see how unhappy they are in their own skin, how they ooze resentment towards the world that finds them strange and creepy and doesn’t want to sit with them at lunch.

idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

From Colbert last night: "We heard that JD Vance loves a good-natured, funny meme, so we made one just for him!"

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Go pester your couch, JD.

ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable. Violence & abuse against Americans is wrong. If you see an incident occurring, get out your cellphone. Document it. Send it to your Congressperson and the press. Do it anonymously if you need to. #BeTheChange

White man whose brand is crying about how tough he had it growing up in the poorest part of the US* wants Black woman to be grateful she also got opportunities from an America he works hard to destroy every day, somehow without using the word “uppity” *he’s from suburban Dayton though

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Oh?

Disgusting.

If the first House Speaker to ever be removed from their role is against it, then be for it. YES ON 50 ✨

What is this world salad? She wants to pick a fight with the NFL?

I unironically like both Mamdani and Spanberger

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

We are in the Bad Faith Era. Shot/chaser.

As you can see, he’s not…you know the rest.

Um…he what?

See: the soybean farmers for proof.

part of the reason i have not been *entirely* negative on shutdown is that it’s been obvious for weeks that the white house would wildly overreact in ways that a) are blatantly illegal and b) will be profoundly unpopular

Feel good story of the day: Nazi decides to FA and then forgets the FO that comes afterward.

American Eagle was dragged into an online outrage cycle after conservative media figures claimed that liberals were offended by the clothing company's ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and a denim-themed pun about her "great jeans." We checked the data. That wasn't true. openmeasures.io/american-eag...

But upholding Democracy requires individual determination and commitment. "Every citizen has a role to play in helping democratic movements succeed. Opposition figures need courage to unify and lead." Stay hopeful, friends. There ARE better days to come. 💙

Great Read! From the Jim Crow South to the 2023 Polish victory over autocratic rule, history teaches and inspires. Authoritarians are not invincible. When countered by a sustained, unified, HOPEFUL opposition, autocratic movements CAN be defeated! 🎁 Article www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

An insane abuse of power

From Paul Krugman

America blames the orange moron It’s Thursday. There are 397 days until the midterm elections. They’re zip-tying children, the White House tries to shake down more universities and America blames Republicans.

I’m guessing Kegseth thinks troops can just go out there and hunt for their regular meals like real may-un.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

It’s 1980s ear worm time!

A great piece that hasn’t aged a day since 1941. Play the game the next time you’re in a room full of people. I’ve played it. I think for some people it’s almost a reflex. “Which one of you would call the Gestapo on me, and which would watch, relieved, as I was taken from my home in the night?”

This woman is a reporter? And she doesn’t know which party is in charge?

RTing because at no point this week did I see this reported on. The powers at be want us to feel alone and isolated. You are not.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Make. The. GOP. Own. This.

This is what you do to chickenshit liars who act tough until they realize their act might get them in trouble & then lie about what happened.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

Quick tip when reading any news article: "Senior Democratic Staffer" usually means "Republican ratfucker".

Conservatives and Republicans are fucking stupid.

Ignore the bone saws, huh?

I'm no fan of VA'S GOP candidate Winsome Earle-Sears, I disagree with her on every issue I can think of & I hope Spanberger wins, but this is some racist Jim Crow-era bullshit & even a child could come up with a better way to show support for LGBT people than this racist KKKunt holding this sign.
